NAME

       ibv_open_device, ibv_close_device - open and close an RDMA device context

SYNOPSIS

       #include <infiniband/verbs.h>

       struct ibv_context *ibv_open_device(struct ibv_device *device);

       int ibv_close_device(struct ibv_context *context);

DESCRIPTION

       ibv_open_device() opens the device device and creates a context for further use.

       ibv_close_device() closes the device context context.

RETURN VALUE

       ibv_open_device()  returns  a  pointer  to  the  allocated  device context, or NULL if the
       request fails.

       ibv_close_device() returns 0 on success, -1 on failure.

NOTES

       ibv_close_device() does not release all the resources allocated using context context.  To
       avoid  resource  leaks,  the user should release all associated resources before closing a
       context.

       Setting the environment variable **RDMAV_ALLOW_DISASSOC_DESTROY**  tells  the  library  to
       relate  an  EIO  from  destroy  commands as a success as the kernel resources were already
       released. This comes to prevent  memory  leakage  in  the  user  space  area  upon  device
       disassociation.   Applications   using   this   flag   cannot   call  ibv_get_cq_event  or
       ibv_get_async_event concurrently with any call to an object destruction function.
